Sure hoping for some minotaurs, or happiest fox would be an anubian jackal the height of the Minotaur Demon Lord :p

I want minotaurs that look like the 3rd edition art. Savage , brutal but natural. No armour. Just heavy fur, shorter about etc.  

 

Gf9 is releasing an official baphomet that fits the 5e art so that's good so no longer worried for that :)

How are there 11 pages of this already?!!?

Well the original thread was started back on the 17th.

 

Plus this is a Reaper Bones kickstarter we’re talking about... ^_^

For folks who don’t like the gradual unveils the obvious thing to me to do would be to check in at the kickstarters launch to confirm the end date, then ignore the Kickstarter until then.

 

That way you’ll see everything that’s been unveiled and what has been shown in physical sculpts, renders, and concept drawings.

Thats all it is though.  A mind game that is pointless

I disagree. 

We know that there have been creatures shoehorned into a kickstarter that were not originally planned because of backer demand and feedback, like the mudgullet, just as we know there have been some minis planned that for whatever reason didn’t make it.

Ron even said we can possibly expect to see some of those in Bones V.

While I agree the Majority is pretty much laid out in stone to some degree, I believe there’s a lot more fluidity to a Bones kickstarter campaign than you believe.

From what I understand, the backer feedback takes up maybe 2%-5% of the minis that are actually in the kickstarter.  Most ideas get taken down and put into the next kickstarter.  (like the Tarrasque was bumped from Bones 1)
So if the majority is planned, dump them out for all to see so discussion can focus on that 2-5% of the minis that are at the sketch phase.

SMALL Humanoid (ie PC races) lesser undead!!!!!! I really could use dwarf skeletons this Monday vs using human-sized ones. Just putting that out there.^_^

Do you have a time machine so you can use the minis on Monday? :lol:

This would be ideal. That way I could also take advantage of anther offer as well. Alas, no.:mellow:

 

Also I do know of the dwarf skeleton that is out there. I have him in metal, but I'm not sure if he isn't in Bones yet

You know there is a Bones Dwarf Skeleton already, right?  From Bones 3.  And a Halfling and an Elf.

Due to yesterday being a travel day [with me as the principal driver] I didn't get the announcement of Bones V until this afternoon.

Travel Day is going to be a problem once again as we will be on the road returning from ReaperCon when this goes live.

-

This may seem far-fetched but would it be possible for those of us attending ReaperCon to do some sort of advance pledge for the Kickstarter so that when it goes live we are already pledged and can claim "bragging rights" for being a first day sponsor?

Perhaps with a Ribbon?

Just spitballin' here.

It's official!   Coming after Reapercon around Sept. 5th!

I think I will just make arrangements for Reaper to bill my credit card for a kilobuck while at ReaperCon and save on all the agonizing and mental justification later.

I do, but are there zombies? How about ghouls? How about plain small skeletons instead of a dwarf fully armored with just a skull for a face or a halfling with butcher knives.  Compared to human sized lesser undead, the smaller races are like female giants in miniatures.

I agree. Chronoscope is fun, but I don't think I would want a big set of it at once. I think it would do better in expansions and add-ons, and certainly not Core (except maybe a pack of 6 figures as one of the stretch goals).

 

 

The mammoths are cool but I don't think I have any use for them. The dragons caught my eye. I would probably go in for a core set, and try to be patient from there... expansions like Dark Reach might get in though.

 

And @Evilhalfling, seriously, why don't you have good fantasy garb yet? But you need to make sure that you get the short version, and then walk on your knees everywhere, because y'know... halfling-ing.

Need to be looking at the Dorf Line for those costumes.

I think it's more likely that they'll have a massive amount of them up for our viewing pleasure so that we can take loads of photos and drop them all over the internets to REALLY have bragging rights over the non-attendees!!

 

As a separate note, IDK if anyone else has mentioned this, but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for Reaper to come up with a series of trees of different sizes, types and configurations that I can quickly paint up and drop on my gaming table. I still have yet to find some that I really like for my tabletop and I feel like their team could deliver big on this KS.
